White House still doesn't have Spanish-language website year into admin
The Hill ^ | February 10, 2018

The White House still doesn’t offer a Spanish-language version of its website more than a year after President Trump took office, The Associated Press reports.

The past two administrations offered Spanish content on the official White House website. Then-press secretary Sean Spicer said last year that Trump officials had deleted the Spanish parts of the site but the staffers were “working overtime” to create a new one.

White House director of media affairs Helen Aguirre Ferre said in July that the Spanish site would be launched by the end of 2017, but has now declined to tell the AP if the website is still in the works.

This is an English speaking country.

Or at least it was before the George H.W. Bush Plan for North Mexico was implemented.

Exactly right. All they have now is the very well-to-do, extreme rich, and extreme poor.

The White House should put a link for Spanish Speaking individuals that goes to the Mexican Consulate page.

POTUS lives in the WH. US citizens vote for the POTUS. To pass the US citizenship test, you must be able to read English. No need for a Spanish website.

We’re an English speaking country. We don’t need a Spanish version of the White House website. Learn to speak English or get out of our country.

Why continue encouraging them not to learn English?

They all know someone who could interpret if they were really interested in what’s posted on the White House website.

After retirement some years ago I worked as a night stocker at Wal-Mart.

I used to get pist off at all the products with Spanish/English printing that always seemed to have the Spanish side facing the customer. Every so often, I’d go through an aisle and turn them around to English.

One supervisor came over and asked why I was messing with stock already on the shelves. I did a little B/S and said that some Hispanic guy asked me why Wal-Mart had (at that time) signs in Spanish. Did they think they were too stupid to learn English?

Supervisor asked me what I said. I told him that I replied that Wal-Mart was no different than other corporations who would sell their mothers if they thought it would improve the bottom line, so selling out their heritage was not hard.

The supervisor just walked off.
